Project 2 IWT networkStatus Serbian fleet /
requirements

• old tow system changed into push system
• Status of Yugoslav Register of Shipping
• since 2003 vessels older than 35 years were
  removed, leaving 256 vessels (2004)
• fleet renewal (new technologies) required to be
  able to compete with other countries

Project 3 Port Development
31
Project 3 - Port DevelopmentGeneral assessment

• ports are working under their handling capacity,
• relative low throughput of the last decade,
• lack of income,
• limited modernisation and maintenance, programme
  infrastructure, equipment and systems,
• outdated and less efficient and reliable port and
  terminal facilities jeopardises attractiveness of
  ports and IWT operations.

32
Project 3 - Port Developmentassumptions

• modern efficient facilities,
• working methods and customer oriented port
  operating companies,
• working in a sound institutional framework in a
  public-private partnership,
• only Luka is considered, other facilities (grain,
  sand, oil, etc.) in other hands.

Project 3 Port Development Financial analysis

• Required investments have been divided based on
  the Port Landlord Model
• the public sector is responsible for the required
  investments in and the annual maintenance of the
  port basic infrastructure (quay walls, dredging,
  rail and road connections),
• and
• the private sector for the investments and annual
  operational costs related to the port operations
  (handling equipment, storage areas,
  superstructures and information systems).
